coastal village of Dandi from Sabarmati Ashram in Gujarat Modi said Though aimed at protesting unfair Salt Laws Dandi March shook the foundations of colonial rule and became a strong symbol of fighting injustice and inequalityIn a conversational approach to his blog readers Modi said Did you know who had a key role in the planning of the Dandi MarchThe great Sardar Patel who he said had a key role in planning every minute aspect of the 390km March down to the last detail The Congress have accuses the Bharatiya Janata Party of trying to appropriate Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel the nations

antiDalit massacres happened under Congress rule Modi ripped the Congress apart listing a pointbypoint contrast of Gandhis thoughts and Congress cultureGandhi said the Prime Minister had understood the Congress culture very well which is why he wanted the Congress disbanded especially after 1947He recounted how the British were scared of Sardar Sahib that they arrested him a few days before the launch of Dandi March hoping it would scare GandhijiHowever none of that happened The larger cause of fighting colonialism prevailed over everything elseGandhiji taught us to think of the plight of the poorest person we have seen and think about how our work impacts that personI am proud to say that in all aspects of our governments work the guiding consideration is to see how it will alleviate poverty and bring prosperityBapu said in 1947 It is the duty of all leading men whatever their persuasion or party to safeguard the dignity of India That dignity cant be saved if misgovernment and

interacting with a group of women workers said I have been receiving complaints that some so called eminent leaders of India are making money through their sons that nepotism is on the increase as also is corruption and that I should do something about itIf it is true all one can say is that we have reached the limit of our misfortuneModi added that Bapu despised dynastic politics but the Dynasty First is the way for the Congress todayA firm believer in democracy Bapu said I understand democracy as something that gives the weak the same chance as the strongModi stressed that ironically the Congress gave the nation the Emergency when democratic spirit was trampled overThe Congress misused Article 356 several times If they did not like a leader that Government was dismissed Always eager to promote dynastic culture Congress has no regard for democratic values he adeedGandhiji had understood the Congress culture very well which is why he wanted the Congress disbanded especially after 1947 He lamented I am sorry to have to say that many Congressmen have looked upon this item Swaraj as a mere political necessity and not as something indispensableModi quoted gandhi as saying that Congress leaders were only busy making communal adjustments In 1937 itself the father of the Nation said I would go to the length of giving the whole Congress a decent burial rather than put up
